We begin the weigh-in on November 1st, 2016. I began my macros today.
I am using the counting macros method in order to achieve the weight loss I hope to attain. I have already seen counting macros work, and I know it's a strategy that won't fail for me if I am able to maintain it. I have a few selfish reasons for starting this diet bet, namely that recent life stressors have caused me to lose sight of eating as healthy as I was, and I have gained about 5 lbs because of that. I want to take those 5 lbs back off, plus maybe an additional 5 lbs. I'm not in this to get shredded or be ridiculously thin, I just want to be at a weight that makes me feel comfortable in my own skin and feel good about myself. More importantly, I want to eat healthy and set a good example for my daughter.
I will be attempting to hit the following Macros goals for myself:
>20% carbohydrates
25-40% protien
30-45% fats
with a caloric intake of around 1400-1600 calories per day minimum.
I don't care about winning the money, I hope one of my clients beats me. But I do care about the results. Let the games begin.
